The Yakuza are just criminals. Marginally better than cartels or gangs, but they still make their money with protection rackets, drug dealing and human trafficking. Also, they force young girls into prostitution and into illegal porn (which ironically is often produced with male Africans). Many of them are behind bars for rape, murder or assault. Behavior that is usually condemned on here.
People need to stop romanticizing these failures and losers. The Japanese themselves absolutely hate them and foreigners pretending otherwise come across as weirdo weebs with little knowledge.
There is all kinds of ninja and underworld type stuff they could do. Sure, they don't do the 'concrete shoes' thing like the mafia, but they have their ways.
they don't do the 'concrete shoes' thing like the mafia
That one's a bit over the top but they have absolutely been known for doing that sort of stuff. They usually just bury their victims in concrete whole. Another thing I read online (but might be an urban legend) is they will burn the body and mix the ash with asphalt for construction. Anyway today's yakuza are just petty thugs looking for easy yen. I haven't seen any evidence they care about Japan since the Kobe quake.
A lot of the Japanese in the Yazuka are Burakumin who were outcasts in ancient Japan and also 30% of Yakuza are Korean.
And they are involved in criminal activity as well , aka not the kind of people who would care about societal wellbeing .Not sure why people would expect them to be super nationalistic about Japan
The Yakuza should do their thing.
